Each year Heritage Palmwoods branch sponsors Palmwoods State School’s starter pack of books to welcome new Prep students.

The ‘sample bags’ are full of reading goodness and include three quality pieces of literature for the children’s first primary school reading books.  One of the books is a modern children’s literature book, the second an early learning mathematics book and the third an indigenous story.

Palmwoods State School Deputy Principal Craig Wockner said the starter packs provided enjoyable educational material that encouraged students to read.

Kay Nixon from The Little Book Nook said she was pleased to support the program.

“It’s lovely to be able to contribute to such a wonderful initiative,” she said. The  starter packs were presented to families at  Palmwoods State School’s VIP Open Days held for kindy kids recently. 

Mr Wockner asked parents who have children born between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2017 and are yet to enrol their children, to contact the school to enrol now for the 2022 school year. Families residing outside the school zone are welcome to apply for exemption.
